The best shoujo sports manga!

It's difficult to find a shoujo manga about sportswomen that takes the sport as (or even more) seriously than the romance. Crimson Hero is one such anomaly. And what a wonderful anomaly it is! The heroine is unique and strong and completely dedicated to her sport. It's wonderful to see a girl who doesn't just turn into a wilting damsel at the first sign of trouble or romance. Her pluck and her talent make her awesome to watch.

Sure, the actual volleyball matches don't start until the second volume, but the action is well worth the wait. It's pretty realistic, too... For example, the heroine's team doesn't just start winning immediately. They face many personal and athletic challenges along the way. Watching the team grow and change is very rewarding, and reminds me of the comraderie of my own high school days.

The individuality of all the team members is portrayed very convincingly. Their personal tribulations and strengths aren't ignored completely in favor of the heroine's characterization, which is a bonus. Usually, the friends of the heroine are treated as mere chorus characters by most shoujo mangakas, but in this case they're all slowly brought to light. It might take a while, but we end up learning about the setters and the blockers, not just the team's ace.

The boys are great, too, but I love the fact that this manga doesn't lose its head around them. What I mean is -- sure, the guys are gorgeous, but girls don't turn into glittery candy wrappers around them. biggrin They don't fit into bishounen stereotypes, either, although they might appear to do so at first. The brash, loud one actually turns out to be vulnerable and sensitive; conversely, the quiet, apparently well-mannered one turns out to have a thorny personality.

At any rate, boys or not, this manga's very much about the girls. And about volleyball.

Sports lovers absolutely shouldn't miss this. Even if you're usually allergic to shoujo because of its trashy romance factor, trust me when I say that Crimson Hero goes way beyond that, and celebrates sports as much as it does love.

Go Benino!

i love this manga. team spirit, endless hope, and pure determination oozes out of the story. but the most important is the love of the game, not to mention the romance at the sidelines. lots of conflicts make it the more interesting!!

I LOVE this Manga! I picked it up initially for the artwork, but OMG! This has become one of my all time favorites! I can't wait to see what happens next! And unlike some of her other mangas, Takanashi seems to know exactly where she is going with this! Or at least, there have yet to be any slow parts. I truly marvel at her ability to portray the strengths and weaknesses of a character, and I really do like how everyone has a fault, espically the main character, gives it a better feel, ya know?

Anyway, this is a MUST READ for any manga reader. And Support the Mangaka! 'Cause I mean, And soon as I can get my hands on a solid copy of the series, you know I'm gonna buy it.

I really love this manga! I have only read up to volume 4 so far but I like how the plot is progressing and I'm a sweet tooth for love triangle romance. The art is amazing and the characters are lovable. It does has some of the typical shoujo manga element to it, but it does not hinder to make a typical shoujo manga. I highly recommend it!

Like all the other works done by TAKANASHI Mitsuba, the art is great~! The storyline is also well thought out and isn't jus the basic shoujo type of manga, but Volleyball is also mixed in with it as well. The characters are nice and each have their own individual personality, focusing on real life aspects such as friendship, love and goals. Don't give up and go for your goal~
Crimson Hero is a must read for all shoujo fans! <3
